Most folks don't live on the net like we do.I don't recommend using shopping cart files for this type of project -- it would be better to use a single database that has an expiration date field which is used to 'clean' the database of old records using some date math. The URL to view a specific record can be quite short, like PostCards.tpl?cardid=1234. You can use an embedded [search] to find that particular record once they hit the PostCards.tpl page.Grant Hulbert, V.P.
